[Freevo-users] Freevo-2.0 Fullscreen Problem
Dear All, I installed Freevo 2.0 and most of it went quite well but I have a problem with Fullscreen 1. The normal button to switch between Fullscreen and Window doesn't work 2. If I start in Fullscreen and start a video (using mplayer-bin) it switch to window mode and stay there, no chance to active fullscreen. Cheers Frederik - Take Surveys. Earn Cash.

Re: [Freevo-users] LCD Monitor Setup Help
I just want to wrap up this thread with the final solution. After a week of investigation and learning, I found out that this Xorg message: (--) NVIDIA(0): SHARP HDMI (DFP-0): 135.0 MHz maximum pixel clock (--) NVIDIA(0): SHARP HDMI (DFP-0): Internal Single Link TMDS Actual describes the capabilities of the video card, not the monitor itself. I believe this is the monitor reporting the capabilities it sees from the video card (I'm guessing here). Later in the xorg.log file, I get this (but didn't report to the list): (--) NVIDIA(0): --- EDID for SHARP HDMI (DFP-0) --- (--) NVIDIA(0): EDID Version : 1.3 (--) NVIDIA(0): Manufacturer : SHP (--) NVIDIA(0): Monitor Name : SHARP HDMI (--) NVIDIA(0): Product ID : 4067 (--) NVIDIA(0): 32-bit Serial Number : 16843009 (--) NVIDIA(0): Serial Number String : (--) NVIDIA(0): Manufacture Date : 2006, week 0 (--) NVIDIA(0): DPMS Capabilities: Active Off (--) NVIDIA(0): Prefer first detailed timing : Yes (--) NVIDIA(0): Supports GTF : No (--) NVIDIA(0): Maximum Image Size : 820mm x 460mm (--) NVIDIA(0): Valid HSync Range: 15.0 kHz - 68.0 kHz (--) NVIDIA(0): Valid VRefresh Range : 55 Hz - 76 Hz (--) NVIDIA(0): EDID maximum pixel clock : 150.0 MHz Which states that the monitor can handle the pixel clock of 150 Mhz. Finally, I found this switch to add to the Monitor or Device section: Option ModeValidation NoMaxPClkCheck Which results in this: (II) NVIDIA(0): Mode Validation Overrides for SHARP HDMI (DFP-0): (II) NVIDIA(0): NoMaxPClkCheck (II) NVIDIA(0): Frequency information for SHARP HDMI (DFP-0): (II) NVIDIA(0): HorizSync : 15.000-68.000 kHz (II) NVIDIA(0): VertRefresh : 55.000-76.000 Hz (II) NVIDIA(0): (HorizSync from EDID) (II) NVIDIA(0): (VertRefresh from EDID) (II) NVIDIA(0): (II) NVIDIA(0): --- Building ModePool for SHARP HDMI (DFP-0) --- (II) NVIDIA(0): Validating Mode 1920x1080: (II) NVIDIA(0): 1920 x 1080 @ 60 Hz (II) NVIDIA(0): For use as DFP backend.

I believe it's because the pixel clock of 148.35 is higher than the maximum of 135 Mhz. Here are some links that may help. http://xtiming.sourceforge.net/cgi-bin/xtiming.pl http://gentoo-wiki.com/HOWTO_Xorg_HDTV What the pages say is that it can be difficult to get the timings correct and HDMI can be fussy about the ModeLines. One thing I noticed is: (--) NVIDIA(0): SHARP HDMI (DFP-0) (--) NVIDIA(0): SHARP HDMI (DFP-0): 135.0 MHz maximum pixel clock (--) NVIDIA(0): SHARP HDMI (DFP-0): Internal Single Link TMDS (II) NVIDIA(0): Mode Validation Overrides for SHARP HDMI (DFP-0): which means that nvidia driver thinks that you are connecting to a DFP (digital flat panel) as opposed to a TV. I'm wondering if a HDTV is a digital flat panel or a TV. I would guess that a DFP is correct, which means that the ModeLines will work. One of the howtos said that when starting X add -- -logverbose 6 to that startx command line for more detailed information about why modlines are not being accepted.

[Freevo-users] Using XINE to play MPEG Transport Streams
I'm starting to record HDTV content using an HD5500 card. I'm dumping MPEG transport streams from the dvb interface /dev/dvb/adapter0/dvr0. I can play these using mplayer, however, I'm at what appears to be the edge of my 2.4G P4 processor (non hyper threading). I don't have enough headroom. I'm trying to play these with xine as an experiment. I can play DVDs with xine without any problem. The audio goes out my spdif interface as expected. I can play MPEGS recorded from a PVR250 with xine without any problems. When playing these MPEG transport streams via xine, I get encouraging results in that the CPU usage is very low, however, I don't get any audio! In the freevo display, these files appear as MPEG Transport Stream, 1280x720 For some reason, xine isn't extracting the audio properly from the mpeg transport streams. Has anyone encountered this issue with xine? I'm unable to get xine to plays these outside freevo either. xine version lroom# xine --version This is xine (X11 gui) - a free video player v0.99.4.

[Freevo-users] tv-grab problems
Hello, I am very new to Freevo and I am having problems getting data into the TV guide. I am using tv_grab_na_dd and have this working correctly with another program (Maxemum TV-Guide) so I know that I have the grabber configures correctly. When I go into TV Guide, it lists all of my Channels, but says no data is available for all channels. When I run 'freevo tv_grab' it successfully downloads data. I am using SuSE 10.0 and the latest freevo. Not sure what other information to include here. Thanks, Tom Weichmann - Take Surveys. Earn Cash.
